'Friday' Star Anthony Johnson Dead at 55



Anthony Johnson -- best known for his roles in "House Party" and "Friday" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Johnson's nephew tells us ... A.J. was found lifeless in a store earlier this month in Los Angeles and rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. So far, no cause of death has been released.

The actor and comedian's career took off in 1990 after he landed the role of E.Z.E. in "House Party" and going on to do stand-up all over L.A.

After that, he appeared in films like "Lethal Weapon 3" and "Menace II Society" before his breakout role playing Ezal in the 1995 comedy "Friday."

A.J. would go on to appear in nearly 50 films and TV shows, including "Moesha," "Martin," "Malcolm & Eddie," "The Players Club" and "I Got the Hook Up" and its sequel. It's also rumored Johnson was cast to reprise his role in the upcoming "Last Friday."

Johnson was 55.

RIP

Fentanyl overdose.

"The 54-year-old's cause of death was "acute intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl, p-fluorofentanyl, heroin and cocaine," the medical examiner's office said. The office said the manner of death was an accident."

Accidental or just plain stupidity. I don't know how anyone can accidentally put that much shit into their body. It's suicide.

Agreed.  It isn't suicide but perhaps more "stupicide"?  An addict is a retarded animal. The guy was an "actor". He pretended to be who he wasn't.  Why?

Because it's a rare thing when people want to see the reality of this world in real time and not on the screen.  Fuck that idiot.

Yup.  My younger brother that is a voice actor told me some stuff about more than a few actors, directors and the like.  I think Kirk had a carpet cleaning business in years gone by.  Hollyweird is fuqued.

Would you say it's highly probably that Adam West fucked her?

Hotter than Dutch love.  Very hot.

Would you say it's highly probably that Adam West fucked her?

Your post reminded me that West was supposedly a bit of a swinger/party animal - so I checked Amazon to see if he had an autobiography on there

Answer is yes, but used paperbacks of "Back to the Batcave" are running around $50 (up to $200, anybody?)

So has anyone read it - is it any good/worth the $?

Chopped Junior Champion Fuller Goldsmith Dead at 17

On Wednesday, Oct. 6, the production company Magical Elves wrote on Instagram that Fuller, who won Chopped Junior at the age of 14 and later competed on Top Chef Junior, recently died of cancer. He passed shortly before his 18th birthday.

"We are devastated after hearing about the loss of our Top Chef Junior alum, Fuller Goldsmith," the statement read. "He was an incredible chef and the strongest kid we've ever met. From the minute he was introduced to us, we knew he would make an impact on everyone around him and be a positive force in cooking world."

They continued, "To his family, we give all our love as they mourn the loss of someone truly special."

Vanessa Lachey, who hosts Top Chef Junior, commented, "We all Loved Fuller so much! And will never forget his contagious smile, laugh and butter tricks. Sending so much Love to his family. We will never forget you Fuller!"

Vanessa met Fuller when he competed on Top Chef Junior in late 2017. The teenager nearly made it to the finale, but left early to prioritize his health.

At the time, he wrote on Instagram, "I am now better than ever and you have not seen the last of FULLER GOLDSMITH!!!!!!"

Though Fuller's time on Top Chef Junior was cut short, he went on to cook alongside Guy Fieri at the 2018 Stagecoach Festival. In an Entertainment Weekly video, the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host told Fuller, "What you've already accomplished in your life is amazing. The example you're setting for other kids is amazing. The example you're setting for adults—You don't give up."

At the time, Fuller was in remission, but by that December his cancer returned. "Round 4 is going to be the one I win against cancer once and for all!" he vowed to his followers.

While seeking treatment, Fuller continued cooking and traveling, before eventually becoming an assistant chef at Tuscaloosa, Alabama's Southern Ale House. His colleagues wrote on Facebook that he was a major help to the chefs in "helping prep, serve, and create recipes."

Then, in February, Fuller told his followers that he was diagnosed with brain cancer and entered his fifth round of radiation. He wrote, "I'm ready to fight to keep my winning streak going. #notgivingup #ihatecancer."
